Question re: interim analysis-
Is this just the DSMC looking at the data and stopping due to ethical concerns with the criteria being a statistically significant difference in the number of deaths in placebo vs. LL (i.e. DSMC performs the analysis, not CYDY)?
i.e. All the p-value calc's everyone has posted here is what the DSMC would be calculating, not CYDY?
CYDY doesn't actually get all of the interim data unblinded and perform a full analysis similar to what they'd do at the end of the trial, do they?
